Bio
I have worked for the past twenty-four years in various fields, however for the past fourteen years have been employed by a large corporation that I absolutely fell in love with.
At the corporate level my experience included negotiating contracts for direct items as well as indirect items. I have negotiated contracts ranging in spend from $3000.00 to $20,000,000.00 in traditional ways such as face to face and more pioneered ways such as online negotiations (auctions).
I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and have most recently ventured out on my own to pursue my dream of being an entrepreneur. This after pain stakingly acknowledging that you can not fall in love with a corporation because it can not love you back.
I am currently writing a book, blog, and monthly newsletter entitled Don't Fall In Love With A Corporation; It Can Not Love You Back in an effort to help others that have been impacted by corporate downsizing, corporate changes, and other corporate realities that people face from day to day when working for someone else.
